## What it does

This skill guides coding agents on converting Figma designs into production code. It outlines how to map layer hierarchies, translate Auto Layout into CSS Flexbox or Grid, and extract colors and typography into design tokens. It also covers asset exports, from vector SVGs to raster images at 1x, 2x, and 3x scales.

The guide includes code patterns for Figma API calls such as `figma.getFile` and `figma.getNode`. It also details connecting MCP tools like `Figma MCP Server`, `F2C MCP Server`, and `Figma Context MCP` inside Cursor. Without a valid Figma access token, these MCP tools cannot pull design data.

## Requirements
- Works with: Figma

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill figma-integration -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/figma-integration/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/figma-integration/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill figma-integration -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/figma-integration/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill figma-integration -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/figma-integration/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Mindrally/skills figma-integration
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/figma-integration/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill figma-integration -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Mindrally/skills --path figma-integration
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/figma-integration/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill figma-integration -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Mindrally/skills/tree/HEAD/figma-integration/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- convert Figma Auto Layout into CSS Flexbox or Grid
- extract color and typography styles into design tokens
- configure Figma MCP servers to inspect designs directly in Cursor
- export vector icons and multi-resolution raster assets

## Example prompts
- Extract design tokens and responsive typography from this Figma node
- Map the Auto Layout settings of this Figma frame to CSS Flexbox
- Export all icon layers from the Figma file key as SVGs

# Figma Integration Guidelines

You are an expert in integrating Figma designs with development workflows. Apply these guidelines when working with Figma designs and implementing them in code.

## Design-to-Code Workflow

### Extracting Design Information

- Identify component structure and hierarchy from Figma layers
- Extract color values, typography settings, and spacing values
- Note responsive behavior and breakpoint variations
- Document interactive states (hover, active, focus, disabled)
- Capture animation and transition specifications

### Component Mapping

- Map Figma components to code components
- Identify reusable patterns and shared styles
- Document variant properties and their code equivalents
- Note auto-layout settings for flexbox/grid implementation

## Implementation Guidelines

### Colors and Theming

- Extract color values in appropriate formats (hex, rgb, hsl)
- Map Figma color styles to CSS custom properties or theme tokens
- Ensure color contrast meets accessibility standards
- Implement dark mode variants when specified

### Typography

- Extract font families, weights, and sizes
- Map Figma text styles to CSS typography classes
- Implement responsive typography scaling
- Preserve line-height and letter-spacing values

### Spacing and Layout

- Convert Figma auto-layout to CSS Flexbox or Grid
- Extract padding and margin values
- Implement consistent spacing scale
- Handle responsive layout changes at breakpoints

### Components and Variants

- Create component variants matching Figma structure
- Implement interactive states consistently
- Document prop interfaces based on Figma properties
- Ensure component composition matches design intent

## Asset Handling

### Images and Icons

- Export images at appropriate resolutions (1x, 2x, 3x)
- Use SVG format for icons and simple graphics
- Implement lazy loading for large images
- Optimize file sizes for web performance

### Exporting Best Practices

- Use consistent naming conventions for exports
- Organize assets in logical folder structures
- Document asset usage and context
- Version control design assets appropriately

## Collaboration Workflow

### Design Handoff

- Review designs with designers before implementation
- Clarify ambiguous specifications
- Document implementation decisions and trade-offs
- Communicate technical constraints early

### Feedback Loop

- Provide implementation previews for design review
- Document deviations from original designs
- Iterate based on design feedback
- Maintain design-code consistency

## MCP Server Integration

### Setup and Configuration

When using Figma MCP servers with Cursor:

1. Navigate to Cursor Settings > Features > MCP
2. Click "+ Add New MCP Server"
3. Configure with appropriate name, type, and command/URL
4. Refresh tool list to populate available tools

### Available MCP Tools

- **Figma MCP Server**: Access design data directly from Figma
```
